Parallel evolution (Evolutionary biology 🧬)
Parallel evolution is the similar development of a trait in distinct species that are not closely related, but share a similar original trait in response to similar evolutionary pressure.

Seeing Red: Dragonflies and Humans Share the Same Red-light Detection Mechanism
"A new study from Osaka Metropolitan University (OMU) has found that dragonflies sense red light similarly to mammals, including us. As many medical devices also rely on red light, their findings could be important not just in zoology but also in medical fields that rely on red light-sensing."

Arendt et al. discuss several metrics of phenotypic parallel evolution including one that does not actually measure parallelism. They suggest use of a partial Eta-squared of the interaction term between Habitat and Replicate as an appropriate metric.

Same species, different sizes: Rare #evolution in action spotted in island bats https://phys.org/news/2024-04-species-sizes-rare-evolution-action.html
#ParallelEvolution in an island archipelago https://academic.oup.com/evolut/advance-article/doi/10.1093/evolut/qpae039/7624587
"Although they are very different sizes, the #bats' DNA is very similar. They use very different #sonar frequencies, they probably eat different food, and even when they live in the same cave together they don't interbreed. That is why no one has ever really questioned whether they were different species"

Guppies are a classic example of #parallelevolution but are they really so parallel? An analysis of published #guppy papers by @alexisheckley @AllegraPearce4 @photopidge @ecoevoevoeco @KristaOke
shows low extent of parallelismhttp://ow.ly/s8S450LLUG9
