This study investigates why golden eagle juveniles delay emigration despite acquiring flight skills, finding that external factors, not skill mastery, primarily influence the timing of independence.

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 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.

This study shows that white storks change their migratory route selection based on age, prioritizing social information as juveniles and experience as adults.
