Born February 4, 1778, Swiss botanist Augustin Pyramus de Candolle was the first to document the internal biological clock of plants. He discussed the idea of "Nature's war," which influenced Darwin's idea of natural selection. He also observed the phenomenon of what later was called convergent evolution--creatures without common ancestry develop similar traits within their shared ecological niches. The example I found online is sharks and dolphins.
