Distributions of the visual Clumpiness Metric (CM) for AGNs and inactive control galaxies. Panels left to right span three distinct bins in redshift. 1000 draws of a mass-matched control sample are analyzed to determine the 1σ/2σ scatter in the CM distributions for inactive galaxies, shown as dark/light grey zones in the histograms. Red open histograms show the parameter distributions for the AGNs. Visually clumpy systems are a minor fraction of galaxies and AGNs at all redshifts. At 0.5 <z< 1.0, AGNs are significantly more likely to be in clumpy galaxies. By 1.5 <z< 2.5, the CM distributions are similar.
