The lab was recently featured in DU Magazine: stories.du.edu/magazine/depa…

Research at 14,000 Feet

The Velotta Lab seeks to understand how tiny mammals have genetically adapted to survive at Colorado’s highest altitudes.

Peek an early look at our @journal_evo paper on temperature-dependent gene regulatory evolution in Atlantic silversides 🐟 lead by @fishyomics with @ntherk, as well as @t_annina and others! academic.oup.com/evolut/arti…

Temperature-dependent gene regulatory divergence underlies local adaptation with gene flow in the...

Abstract. Gene regulatory divergence is thought to play an important role in adaptation, yet its extent and underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive fo

In this preprint, PhD student Erik Iverson examines the role of mtDNA in elevation adaptation, finding faster mtDNA evolution in high altitude species is likely caused by relaxed selection, not adaptive evolution. Feedback is appreciated! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Stronger evidence for relaxed selection than adaptive evolution in high-elevation animal mtDNA

Mitochondrial (mt) genes are the subject of many adaptive hypotheses due to the key role of mitochondria in energy production and metabolism. One widespread adaptive hypothesis is that selection...
