The paper investigates whether juvenile Alpine golden eagles avoid human-dominated landscapes due to innate behavior, learning during dispersal, or pre-dispersal imprinting, finding that imprinting on natal habitat features explains the avoidance behavior.

This study examines how early-life activity levels in golden eagles influence later life-history transitions, finding that higher nestling activity correlates with earlier fledging and dispersal.

This study shows golden eagles in the Alps use gravity waves for soaring, contributing to 19% of their flight segments and becoming primary updraught sources in winter.

The study shows that the realized energy landscape for golden eagles changes with age, with younger eagles having higher energy costs and smaller flyable areas.
