What is the difference between a convertible bond and mezzanine debt?

What are the main differences between a convertible bond and mezzanine debt? When is one used over the other? Who issues convertible bonds? Which is more senior? Is share dilution any different in the exercise of each?

Even if no direct answer here I would also appreciate a reading recommendation that answers this, as I have been unable to clarify this question thus far.
