Researchers studying Scalesia (Galápagos giant daisies) discovered that multiple plant lineages independently evolved similar heat-tolerant leaf shapes using different combinations of genes, demonstrating parallel evolution. The team also found major genetic differences among isolated populations suggesting new species may be forming in real time.
