An example often given is flying: honeybees and hummingbirds can both fly, but their wings didn&#8217;t develop from the same body location. Rather, evolutionary pressure acted on each of those species in a way that led them to acquire flight in the way their bodies could adapt to accomplish. Because both species visit flowers for nutrients, both benefit from flying.<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/bio.libretexts.org\/Bookshelves\/Introductory_and_General_Biology\/Map%3A_Raven_Biology_12th_Edition\/21%3A_The_Evidence_for_Evolution\/21.04%3A_Fossil_Evidence_of_Evolution\/21.4.7%3A_Convergent_Evolution#:~:text=Convergent%20evolution%20is%20the%20opposite,and%20independently%20acquire%20similar%20characteristics.\">bio.libretexts.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pollinatorpartnership.ca\/assets\/generalFiles\/Planting-Guide-FINAL-ISBN-June-2017-for-Web-English.pdf\">pollinatorpartnership.ca<\/a><\/p>\nJack of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\">Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tutoring biology, terms about evolution come up.
