In this paper we construct a correspondence between the parameter spaces of two families
of one-dimensional dynamical systems, the alpha-continued fraction transformations
T_alpha and unimodal maps. This correspondence identifies bifurcation parameters in the
two families, and allows one to transfer topological and metric properties from one setting to
the other. As an application, we recover results about the real slice of the Mandelbrot set,
and the set of univoque numbers.
