Rest‐frame M(I₈₁₄) vs. the comoving volume of the whole survey for the two early‐type samples: the red, solid points are the primary sample and blue, open points are the secondary sample. Non–early‐type galaxies are shown by small dots. Spectroscopic redshifts are used when available. The limiting absolute magnitude of the ﹩H< 24.0﹩ sample is shown by a solid curve. The predicted change in M(I₈₁₄) for an L* galaxy is represented by the dashed line, calculated using a BC model with a 0.1 Gyr burst of Z_⊙ stars formed at ﹩z_{f}=4.0﹩ followed by PLE. The dotted line is ~2 mag less luminous than the predicted M*(I₈₁₄).
