Multi-level convergence of complex traits and the evolution of bioluminescence.

Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society - 1 Apr 2021

Lau Emily S, Oakley Todd H

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary convergence provides natural opportunities to investigate how, when, and why novel traits evolve. Many convergent traits are complex, highlighting the importance of explicitly considering convergence at different levels of biological organization, or 'multi-level convergent evolution'. To investigate multi-level convergent evolution, we propose a holistic and hierarchical framework that emphasizes...
