Predicting when evolution will repeat is a central challenge in biology, with implications for evolutionary rescue, biodiversity forecasting, and bioengineering. In this talk, I use examples from bioluminescence, chiton visual systems, and Medusozoa (~jellyfish) to explore three influences on evolutionary repeatability: reuse of existing components, historical contingency, and widespread molecular ...
