Trait Parallelism

Trait Parallelism is a theoretical construct in evolutionary biology that refers to the independent emergence of similar phenotypic traits in distinct lineages under comparable selective pressures, where the parallelism occurs at the level of discrete, heritable features rather than at the genetic or developmental pathway level.
