A comparison between the star formation history inferred from the UltraVISTA mass density (black solid line and dashed area corresponding to 1σ errors) and literature determinations including: direct measurements of the SFR density compiled by Behroozi et al. (2013) (red solid line with dashed lines for the associated uncertainties); star formation histories derived from the UV and IR luminosity functions from Cucciati et al. (2012) and Gruppioni et al. (2013) (brown triangles and green squares, respectively); and finally radio estimates from Karim et al. (2011) updated using the mass functions presented in this paper (blue circles).
