This review focuses on different patterns of magnetoconvection and on aspects of flux expulsion, flux separation and flux pumping. The transition between magnetoconvection and small-scale dynamo action will be described and the rôle of rotation in leading to large-scale dynamo action will be emphasized. An attempt will be made to relate the results of numerical experiments to magnetic features that can be observed on the Sun, and must also be present in other late-type stars.
