Comparison of the MSR depending on different selection methods. Left: MSR for the different selection criteria discussed in the text with their associated slope and uncertainty. The dashed gray lines represent the MSRs from the literature shown in Fig. 5. Right: sSFR distribution for the different selection criteria with the fraction of blue galaxies (log(sSFR/yr⁻¹)≥ − 11) for each of them shown on the top left corner.
