Comparison between the host haloes of ELGs in the mock DESI samples (dimmer oranges, inner circles for each colour) and the predictions from SHAMe-SF. As in Fig. 8, we distinguish between haloes with only a central ELG, haloes with only ELG satellites, and haloes with both (conformal), and provide the average measured halo masses and those predicted by the model. The uncertainties on the percentage can be found in Table A.1. Most ELGs are centrals without other ELG satellites. Haloes that host both central and satellite ELGs have lower masses than those only containing satellites.
