Caption: Figure 6.

Effect of galaxy environment on the LERG merger fractions with respect to the control population. For each environment (field, groups, or clusters) the minor merger fractions for the LERGs (red) and controls (gray) are shown on the left, while the major merger fractions are shown on the right. The left-hand panel shows the full LERG sample and control, while the right-hand panel shows the morphologically matched subset.
