Galaxies become less concentrated, more asymmetric and less clumpy toward lower stellar masses, with bar fraction declining to zero near 10^8 solar masses and CAS parameters losing separating power in the dwarf regime.

In TNG-50, 80% of Milky Way-mass galaxies align their present-day angular momentum with the orbital angular momentum of their most massive merger, and 81% of their stellar halos rotate prograde relative to the disk.
Analysis of 3 million HSC galaxies finds that galaxy bulge-to-total ratio depends on environment at fixed stellar mass, with the strength and scale of this dependence varying by redshift and galaxy mass.
COLIBRE simulations find kinematic galaxy morphology peaks in rotational support at stellar masses of 1-2 x 10^10 solar masses and correlates more with internal properties like gas richness than with host halo properties.
Early kinematically persistent planes of satellite galaxies are fossil remnants of high-redshift anisotropic mass collapse along the principal directions of the local cosmic web during the fast assembly phase of host halos.
