Fraction of galaxies more massive than 1010M of a given galaxy morphology (see Sect. 3.3) as a function of local density for quiescent (top) and star-forming (bottom) galaxies. Errors on the fractions are computed from Poisson statistics. We show as coloured vertical regions the likely association between local density and density regions. For quiescent galaxies, we see a nearly constant fraction of elliptical galaxies with density and an increase in irregular morphologies at the expense of disc galaxies in the densest regions. For star-forming galaxies, we might find a small trend in the densest bin with an increase in ellipticals and a decline in irregular galaxies (and also potentially discs, though the disc fraction is compatible with no environmental influence).
