The [CII]-to-molecular gas conversion factor evolves from over 10,000 to about 10 solar masses per solar luminosity as galaxies enrich from very low metallicity at high redshift to higher values later, making a redshift-independent factor unusable.

An analytical model of galaxies evolving along the star-forming main sequence shows that episodic quiescence or late assembly is required to reproduce observed star formation histories and avoid over-massive galaxies today.
