Data from: Year-round carryover effects are driven by migration phenology for Hirundo rustica (Barn Swallow) wintering in West Africa
<p>Recently, population declines have been reported for many migratory birds. Because of complex life cycles, determining the causes for such declines is often difficult. Thus, migratory birds are of special conservation interest. We studied the migratory behavior of barn swallows Hirundo rustica tagged with solar geolocators and determined carryover effects during the entire annual cycle from one breeding season to the next. We used a Partial Least Square Path Model (PLS-PM) to disentangle migratory and breeding events that occur in chronological order. In addition, we controlled for broad environmental conditions in the wintering grounds (NDVI and latitude) and the specific moulting habitat (δ13C). We did not find a carryover effect from reproduction investment in the attachment year to breeding success in the subsequent year. Individuals which invested more in reproduction departed earlier from the breeding colonies, but this in turn did not affect the onset of autumn migration. Thus, the pre-migratory period should be acting as a buffer stage counteracting any previous carryover effects from reproduction investment. On the other hand, we found a long-lasting domino effect from the onset of autumn migration to subsequent breeding success, consistent with the notion of a migratory race. Specifically, individuals which started earlier the autumn migration, arrived earlier to the wintering grounds, started earlier the spring migration, arrived earlier to the breeding colonies and had a higher breeding success. We highlight that the pre-migratory period (i.e., the time elapsed between departure from breeding areas and the onset of autumn migration) should be important for the lifecycle of migratory species, but it has been frequently overlooked.</p>

Picture this, power politics in international aid: A visual content analysis of the 2014 Ebola epidemic in West Africa, Dataset
<p>Literature on framing of the African continent is rich, however, similar framing literature on international actors in Africa is significantly under explored. This study investigated the visual frames through which Chinese, French, and U.S. newspapers engaged in nation branding by portraying international aid during the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Data from the <em>People’s Daily</em>, <em>Le Monde</em>, and <em>The New York Times</em> showed that while Western coverage was negatively toned on frames of medical aid and culture, Chinese coverage was more positively toned on frames of medical aid and the military. Such findings contribute to scholarly understandings of visual media framing as functions of political power struggles and nation branding. </p>
