Abstract
Studying clustering on small scales (<10Mpc) over a large span of red-
shifts allows us to connect galaxies to underlying cosmic large-scale
structure, and thereby provide constraints on the physical processes
that drive galaxy evolution. Relatedly, studying the relative bias of
galaxies and their halo occupancy quanti es how the underlying dark
matter distribution is traced by baryons in galaxies. Comparing model
predictions to current and future multi-wavelength galaxy surveys, en-
ables a greater understanding of how galaxy formation processes impact
the relationship between galaxies and dark matter
