Notes.Column 1: name of the survey; Col. 2: selection criteria, Col. 3: redshift range probed by the survey in our analysis; Col. 4: level of completeness for galaxies with M⋆> 1011M⊙ in the redshift range probed; Col. 5 (6): reference adopted for stellar mass (Re) estimates. Stellar masses were derived through the fit of the spectral energy distribution, and effective radius fitting a Sersic profile to the images; Col. 7: filter of the images used to derived the Re.
