The image shows two species of lizards. Phrynosoma cornutum (left) is found in North America and Moloch horridus (right) is found in Australia. These species are strikingly similar both in appearance and in behaviour, yet they are very distantly related. M. horridus is more closely related to chameleons than to P. cornutum while P. cornutum is more closely related to iguanas than to M. horridus. Both species live in similar environment (deserts) and have the same diet (ants). Which phenomenon most likely account for their similarities?

Evolutionary lineages

An evolutionary lineage is a series of populations of organisms that descend from a common ancestor. Each species in the lineage is the direct consequence of evolutionary change from a common ancestor. A phylogenetic tree is generally used to display lineages visually. Lineages are components of the phylogenetic tree of life. Molecular systematics procedures are widely used to predict lineages.
