Ducks and beavers both have webbed-feet.

• allopatric speciation

• adaptive radiation

• convergent evolution

• coevolution

• sympatric speciation

The cuckoo bird and cowbirds have evolved eggs that closely mimic those of other birds (the hosts). Their young also have characteristics (feather coloration and calls) that mimic the young of those other birds and encourage the host parents to feed them. In response, some hosts have developed the ability to discriminate between their own offspring and eggs, and those of the cuckoos and cowbirds.

In convergent evolution, organisms share physical similarities because they 

• have a common ancestor
• live in the same enviornment
• develop homologous structures
• are closely related

What happens in divergent evolution? 

• organisms become more similar
• organisms become less similar
• species become more related
• adaptive radiation always occurs
