Different Genes are Recruited During Convergent Evolution of Pregnancy and the Placenta

Abstract The repeated evolution of the same traits in distantly related groups (convergent evolution) raises a key question in evolutionary biology: do the same genes underpin convergent phenotypes? Here, we explore one such trait, viviparity (live birth), which, qualitative studies suggest, may ind...
