Compared colour-mass diagrams (H160−3.6 μm vs. stellar mass) of the GS43 and CANDELS catalogues, colour-coded as a function of redshift. Left panels: stellar mass and colour are from the GS43 catalogue; right panels: they are from CANDELS, with photometry from G13 and masses from Santini et al. (2015); in both cases we considered the standard τ models that include emission lines. Upper panels: sources that in GS43 are detected (S/N >  1) in IRAC CH1 and are upper limits in G13; the lower panels show the opposite.
