A possible scenario showing how sSFR and quenching impact the star-forming MF (blue lines) and quiescent MF (red lines), similar to Peng et al. (2010). The large arrows represent quenching. The green arrows correspond to the mass increase expected in 2 Gyr, by taking the sSFR values compiled by Stark et al. (2013). The left panel corresponds to the high redshift bin 2.5 < z < 3, where we show the mass quenching process which is more efficient at high mass. The middle panel corresponds to the redshift bin 1.1 < z < 1.5 when the quiescent galaxies starts to dominate the high-mass end. The right panel corresponds to the redshift bin 0.2 < z < 0.5, when environment quenching generates new low mass quiescent galaxies.
