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.
