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.
Morphological merger fractions exceed close-pair fractions across 0.2<z<0.9 in DEVILS, with minimal sample overlap, attributed to different merger stages and timescales.
