Table 1: Required dissolution timescale ranges for globular clusters of three metallicities in four studied galaxies, as derived from the cluster samples. Due to possible incompleteness at low masses and high M/L (see Fig. 3), all upper limits represent minimum values and lower limits often represent maxima. Limits that do not suffer from incompleteness are shown in boldface.
