Satellite fraction of colour selected blue and red galaxies in VIEPRS-like mocks. The halo occupation distribution (HOD) model used to build the mock catalogues identifies galaxies as either satellite or central. Plotted are the fraction of satellite galaxies f_sat in the flux- (empty markers) and volume-limited (filled markers) VIPERS-like mock samples for red (top panel) and blue (bottom panel) galaxies. In both panels f_sat is measured in redshift bins of width Δz = 0.1 between 0.6 ≤ z ≤ 1.0.
