Multiple paths to the same destination: Influence of gene flow on convergent evolution.

Abstract excerpt

Elucidation of the genetic mechanisms of convergent evolution, the evolution of similar or the same phenotypes in phylogenetically independent lineages, helps predict how populations will respond to the same selective pressures. Convergent evolution can be caused by either the fixation of identical-by-descent alleles, independent mutations at the same gene, or mutations in different genes controlling the same...
