Comparison between the bias parameters and b_LIN obtained from galaxy counts and galaxy clustering, respectively. Large red circles: of VIPERS galaxies. Blue squares: b_LIN of VIPERS from Marulli et al. (2013). Green triangles: b_LIN for DEEP2 galaxies from Coil et al. (2006). Brown crosses: b_LIN for PRIMUS galaxies from Skibba et al. (2014). Light blue asterisks: b_LIN for CHFTLS galaxies from Coupon et al. (2012). Purple hexagons: b_LIN for ALHAMBRA galaxies from Arnalte-Mur et al. (2014).Small light green dots: for zCOSMOS galaxies from Kovač et al. (2011). Small light brown pentagons: for VVDS-Deep galaxies from Marinoni et al. (2005). Values of were measured on a scale R = 8h^-1 Mpc .
