IMF dependence on the star formation rate. Light blue symbols show how the scatter in the metallicity-IMF relation (horizontal axis) correlate with the scatter in the metallicity-effective star formation rate density plane (vertical axis) for low-metallicty F3D bins ([M/H] ≲ −0.1). Dark blue symbols indicate the running median of the distribution, revealing a significant correlation between IMF slope and star formation rate at fixed metallicity.
