A z=2.96 protocluster in COSMOS shows +0.2 dex higher stellar masses, mild SFR enhancement in low-mass galaxies, and no rise in quiescent fraction compared to the field.
Massive quiescent galaxies at high redshifts show elevated fractions in small-scale overdensities, indicating environmental quenching via galaxy interactions plays a major role.
