The fish shown above is a tarpon. It is a fast-swimming and powerful open-water fish. Its closest relatives, oddly, are burrow-dwelling conger eels that stay on the bottom. Both eels and tarpon developed from snake-like larvae that float in the plankton during the first stages of life. Once they mature, tarpon and eels are not found near one another in the ocean. The tarpon and the eel illustrate all of the following EXCEPT *
-relation by similar development.
-co-evolution between tarpon and eels.
-divergent evolution by close relatives.
-proof that physical features are not always reliable for working out evolutionary relationships.

The tarpon and the eel illustrate all of the above features EXCEPT  -co-evolution between tarpon and eels. Coevolution refers to the parallel evolution of two different taxonomic groups.

Coevolution is the process that leads to the reciprocal evolution over time between interacting populations.

The similarities of observed phenotypic features between two or more species may be due to the presence of homo-logies (shared ancestry) or analogies (do not indicate a common ancestry).

Divergent evolution refers to the accumulation of phenotypic (and therefore also genetic) differences between species that share a common ancestor.
