title: Replication Data for: The effect of reforestation on bird communities in two types of forests in Nevado de Toluca, Mexico
title: Estimation of bird community attributes.

description: Abstract. We analyzed the diversity and richness of plants and birds of two forests with different structural characteristics in the area of Nevado de Toluca. Eight mist nets were placed in one natural forest and in one reforested forest, both in the State of Mexico, Mexico. In both sites we describe volume, dominance, density and Importance Value Index of the herbaceous, shrub and arboreal plant strata. We used correspondence analysis to test the existence of association between forest type and the month-dependent probability of bird species captured. To identify the variable that relates the changes in the abundance of bird species with the positions of the nets, which in turn are associated to vegetation attributes, we used the Outlying Mean Index test. The three vegetal strata had different structural characteristics in both forests. Mulhenbergia macroura J.F. Gmel (Poacea) was the most associated plant to birds’ abundance variations between sites. The presence of this grass (M. macroura) was associated to the species Eugenes fulgens, Junco pheonotus, Oreothlyphis superciliosa, Regulus calendula, Setophaga coronata, which were not reported in the native forest. Ten species of birds were more frequent in the natural forest from January to February, while 14 species were abundant in the reforested forest from April to May. The probability to catch birds was the same for both forests in March. Differences found in this work were not significant, that is, reforestation after previous deforestation did not significantly affect the diversity of birds in the area sampled in Nevado de Toluca.
Methods
We randomly distributed eight 12-meter-long mist nets along the paths of each study site. We performed two types of sampling: a) five-month sampling: from Friday to Sunday, from January to May 2015, once a month simultaneously in both forests; b) 13-month sampling: from January to October, carried out consecutively, one week, from Friday to Sunday, alternating forests. We revised the net each hour from 8 to 14 hrs, schedules were modified depending on extreme weather conditions.

title: Replication Data for: Does the Gift Keep on Giving?: House Leadership PAC Donations Before and After Majority Status

description: Party leaders face a significant tradeoff financing races when the party is out of power: while they care about gaining control of the House, they do not know how willing a potential representative will be to work with and for the party once elected. Leadership PAC (LPAC) contributions are a major mechanism of leadership control over the financing of congressional campaigns, with the hope of influencing the future behavior of candidates. We study differences between contributions of the LPACs for leaders of both parties conditional on majority status. We find that both majority and minority party leaders prioritize winning elections and ideological homogeneity in their donations, but that these trends are largely contingent on overall electoral conditions. In their contributions, majority party leaders pay more attention to ideological cohesion than minority party leaders, while minority party leaders are more interested in gaining seats in the House than majority party leaders.

title: Replication data for: Martial Law? Military Experience, International Law, and Support for Torture

description: A large body of work points to diverging civil-military views on the initial decision to use force, yet there is little sense if similar differences hold over appropriate conduct in the midst of armed conflict. The rise of international laws governing behavior during war has similarly raised the question of whether these rules can shape the beliefs of various domestic actors. This paper seeks to address both gaps in the literature by leveraging the use of experiments embedded in a pair of U.S. national surveys to examine the impact of international law and military experience on individual attitudes toward torture. The results show veterans are significantly more likely to support torture compared to civilians without any prior military background. International law further reduces civilian support for torture, while veterans are largely unaffected by general legal appeals. However, when facing highly precise rules, or where the threat of punishment is delegated to third parties, more legalized agreements can significantly reduce veteran support for torture. The results have implications for the study of institutional design, the differential effects of legal norms on non-state actors, and the potential for greater awareness of the laws of war to influence attitudes toward wartime violence.

title: Replication Data for: Unequal Policy Responsiveness in Spain

description: Major theories of democratic representation posit that elected officials ought to reflect the preferences of their constituents and act accordingly. But a growing body of research finds that the preferences of the most affluent influence policy outcomes more than those of the least affluent. Yet, broad studies of unequal policy responsiveness have so far only examined Northern Europe and the US. This biased sample limits our ability both to generalize about unequal responsiveness and to build theories about its causes. We address these limitations by studying Spain, which differs from prior cases in important ways. We collected data from Spanish mass surveys fielded over the period 1976-2016 and researched which of these policies were subsequently approved. We find consistent evidence that policy responsiveness in Spain is unequal. We also find that this pattern holds regardless of the ideology of the government and the type of policy, although with some variation.

title: 2017 Eclipse Soundscape

description: We collected acoustic data at eight sites in Greenville County (Figure 1) along an urban development gradient from downtown Greenville to the foothills of the well protected Blue Ridge described in (Wood and Quinn 2016 and Ernstes and Quinn 2015). Each location was within the full path of totality. One challenge in the past for sampling the soundscape of an ephemeral event as an eclipse along any gradient is the requirement of concurrent sampling. Remote sensing using passive acoustic recorders allows a large amount of data to be collected in different locations at the same time, crucial for being able to conduct this study. We placed automated recording units (ARU, Wildlife Acoustics SM2) at each site approximately 1.5 meters off the ground. We set the ARU’s to record at a sampling rate of 16000 hz. Recorders were set to record for a total of 5 hours from 12:00 pm to 17:00 pm during the window when the total solar eclipse would be taking place on August 21st, 2017. The period of totality was from 2:38 pm to 2:40 pm.

title: Replication Data for "Democracy For All: Conceptualizing and Measuring Egalitarian Democracy"

description: Although equality figures prominently in many foundational theories of democracy,
liberal and electoral conceptions of democracy have dominated empirical
political science research on topics like political regimes, democratization and
democratic survival. This paper develops the concept of egalitarian democracy
as a regime that provides de facto protection of rights and freedoms equally across
the population, distributes resources in a way that enables meaningful political
participation for all citizens and fosters an environment in which all individuals
and social groups can influence political and governing processes. Using new
indicators from the Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) project, the paper develops
and presents measures of these important concepts, demonstrates their relationship
to existing measures, and illustrates their utility for advancing the study of
democracy in ways that more fully embrace the richness of democratic theory.

title: US Global Food Security Strategy (GFSS) Baseline Survey, 2018-2019

description: The purpose of the US Global Food Security Strategy (GFSS) 2018/2019 baseline survey in Bangladesh is to provide the U.S. Government interagency partners, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Bureau for Resilience and Food Security (RFS), USAID/Bangladesh, the Government of Bangladesh, and development partners with information on the current status of the Feed the Future Zone of Influence (ZOI)-level population-based survey indicators. The survey is designed to establish the current status of Feed the Future indicators in the ZOI for the second phase of Feed the Future, also known as GFSS. For more information on the US GFSS Bangladesh Country Plan, please visit this &lt;a href="https://www.usaid.gov/documents/1867/global-food-security-strategy-gfss-bangladesh-country-plan"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
Upon request from USAID, IFPRI designed and conducted the US Global Food Security Strategy (GFSS) 2018/2019 baseline survey, which was implemented in the field from November 11, 2018 to February 6, 2019. &lt;/p&gt;
The GFSS 2018/2019 baseline survey covers mostly rural areas in the south and southwest region of the country. In addition to the 20 districts in three divisions that create the Feed the Future sample, the GFSS sample added Kushtia district in Khulna division based on its poverty and stunting trends. The 21 districts making up the GFSS are listed below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;1. Barishal division (six districts): Barguna, Barishal, Bhola, Jhalakati, Patuakhali, and Pirojpur; &lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;2. Dhaka division (five districts): Faridpur, Gopalganj, Madaripur, Rajbari, and Shariatpur; and &lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;3. Khulna division (10 districts): Bagerhat, Chuadanga, Jashore, Jhenaidah, Khulna, Kushtia, Magura, Meherpur, Narail, and Satkhira.&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
The GFSS sample includes 2,525 households in 125 primary sampling units (that is, villages). The GFSS sample design followed a stratified sampling in two stages: (1) randomly selected 125 PSUs (villages) with probability proportional to size (PPS) sampling using the number of households in each village as the size, and (2) after a complete census in each of the selected villages was conducted, randomly selected 20 households per PSU from the census list—using the sampling frame developed from the community series of the 2001 population census of Bangladesh.

title: Replication Data for: Does Compensating the Losers Increase Support for Trade? An Experimental Test of the Embedded Liberalism Thesis

description: The political economy of trade literature argues that compensating those who lose from trade is an important component of maintaining public support for free trade, a linkage known as the compensation hypothesis or embedded liberalism thesis. Previous research has found support for many elements of the causal chain underlying embedded liberalism; however, there has been little research on the most crucial element of the causal chain, namely that compensation policies lead to in
creased support for trade. This article provides a direct test of the 
compensation hypothesis using a survey-based experiment conducted in the U.S. that exposes half of the respondents to knowledge of compensation programs and then asks for their opinion on trade policy. The article explores whether knowledge of compensation increases support for trade as well as who is influenced by this knowledge and, thus, provides a crucial test of the embedded liberalism thesis.

title: BISINDO Video Dataset

description: This video dataset presents a visual representation of Indonesian Sign Language (BISINDO), the primary communication system used by the Deaf community in Indonesia. It contains video clips capturing a variety of BISINDO hand gestures performed by native signers. Each video documents commonly used vocabulary in everyday interactions and is designed to support the development of automatic sign language recognition technologies through visual-based approaches. Data collection was conducted using a smartphone camera in a controlled environment, with consistent lighting and a neutral background to ensure visual quality and uniformity. Native BISINDO signers were asked to perform a predetermined list of sign words, with each gesture repeated several times to capture natural variations in hand shape, direction, and movement speed. Recording was done from a frontal viewpoint to ensure full visibility of hand movements, facial expressions, and accompanying visual cues.
The dataset consists of six videos: the “Alphabets Video Dataset,” “Numbers Video Dataset,” “Name-of-the-Day Video Dataset,” “Introductory Video Dataset,” “Family Video Dataset,” and “Short Story Video Dataset.” The Alphabets Video Dataset has a duration of 2 minutes and 27 seconds and includes gestures representing letters A to Z. The Numbers Video Dataset lasts 42 seconds and covers gestures for numbers 1 to 10. The Name-of-the-Day Video Dataset is 40 seconds long and includes gestures for the days of the week from Monday to Sunday. The Introductory Video Dataset has a duration of 1 minute and 55 seconds, featuring daily introductory phrases. The Family Video Dataset is 3 minutes and 48 seconds long and includes gestures representing family-related terms. The Short Story Video Dataset lasts 4 minutes and 9 seconds and presents gestures for short everyday narratives.
