Stellar mass as a function of redshift for the parent sample of this work. The red and blue dots represent star-forming and quiescent galaxies, respectively. The lime step-like line shows the mass completeness limits for QGs in the redshift interval Δz = 0.25. The mass completeness limit can be parameterized as the function ﹩{M}_{{\rm{comp}}}(z)=10.375+0.671\,{\rm{ln}}(z)﹩ in this study, which is shown by the black solid curve. The black dashed line is M _⋆ = 10¹¹ M _⊙, which marks the lower mass limit of our sample.
