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 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.
