Comoving number density of galaxies for CFHTLenS (black data points) and the SAMs (green data points) in our stellar-mass bins for low-z (filled symbols) and high-z (open symbols). The sample labels SM1 to SM6 are indicated at the bottom; the small numbers at the top are the mean stellar masses inside the bins in units of . The coloured lines are the galaxy SMFs by Wright et al. (2018, GAMA/G10-COSMOS/3D-HST), Bielby et al. (2012, WIRDS/CFHTLS), Davidzon et al. (2013, VIPERS/CFHTLS), and Baldry et al. (2012, GAMA). The SMFs are, before integrating over our stellar-mass bins, convolved with a stellar-mass error of 0.27 dex to account for the Eddington bias in our data.
