This study uses eagle flight data to assess how high-resolution weather models capture atmospheric dynamics, revealing gaps in thermal resolution and the need for better model accuracy.

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 documents a 90.1% decline in Egyptian fruit bats in Cyprus between 2024 and 2026, suggesting an acute mortality event and urging immediate conservation action.

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.

The paper introduces MoveTraits, a database integrating animal behavior into trait-based ecology by standardizing movement traits from biologging data to improve global change predictions and biodiversity assessments.

This paper evaluates RSSI as a fine-scale distance estimator using multi-sensor biologgers, showing improved accuracy with additional sensor data and demonstrating its utility for proximity logging in wildlife.

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.
