“…Notably, this emigration of people from the city of Detroit is complex and tied to various historical socioeconomic biases (Xie et al, 2018). Further, we recognize that how people are distributed in the city and who has access to green spaces is not equitable and a consequence of discriminatory housing and city planning policies that impact a myriad of ecological processes (Watkins, & Gerrish, 2018;Schell et al, 2020).…”

12People and wildlife are living in an increasingly urban world, replete with unprecedented human 13 densities, sprawling built environments, and altered landscapes. Such anthropogenic pressures 14 can affect processes at multiple ecological scales from individuals to ecosystems, yet few studies 15 integrate two or more levels of ecological organization. We tested two competing hypotheses, 16humans as shields versus humans as competitors, to characterize how humans directly affect 17 carnivore spatial ecology across three scales. From 2017-2020, we conducted the first camera 18 survey of city parks in Detroit, Michigan, and obtained spatial occurrence data of the local native 19 carnivore community which included coyotes (Canis latrans), red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), gray 20 foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), raccoons (Procyon lotor), and striped skunks (Mephitis 21 mephitis). We constructed single-species occupancy models to discriminate parks into areas of 157 Camera Survey

“…The primary research method of the paper is an adaptation of categorical logit or categorical logistic regression model [1,19]. Firm's exporting behavior is modelled on the basis of a variety of observed, firm-specific characteristics along with a set of categorical variables that reflect our research hypotheses.…”

Regional Inequality of Firms’ Export Opportunity in China: Geographical Location and Economic Openness

China has a large land area and uneven regional development. There are significant disparities between the three belts (eastern, central, and western China), with the eastern region being the most developed and the western region the least developed. Considering that export is regarded as one of the troikas for China's economic growth and firms are the basic entities engaged in trade activities, we examine whether there exists inequality of firms' export opportunity between the three regions. We find that the critical productivity level of firms' export in developed eastern China is significantly lower than that of western and central regions. Our results indicate that firms in eastern China are more likely to export and there is an obvious inequality of firms' exporting opportunities.

“…A number of reasons have been given for the decline. Describing Detroit as ‘one of the most notorious examples of severe decline in North America’, Xie et al. (2018 , p. 350) noted the impact of urban sprawl, a history of racial segregation, and persistently high levels of poverty.…”

The purpose of this study was to explore the rate and geographic distribution of 911 calls for service related to mental health issues during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in the City of Detroit, MI, USA. The results suggest that the total number of calls for mental health issues was at the lowest level when compared with the same time period for the previous 3 years. Furthermore, as both the daily reported COVID-19 cases and related deaths increased over time, there was a significant decline in both suicide threats and suicides in progress. Significant hot spots were found for the total calls as well as for threats of suicide. These hot spots did not coincide with the spatial distribution of reported cases of COVID-19 by ZIP code. While higher and lower areas of reported cases were found, these differences by ZIP code were not found to be significant. When compared with the previous 3 years of data, the hot spot area was much smaller in 2020, implying that the mental health-related calls for service were more evenly spread throughout the city.
