Galaxies are lighthouses that sit atop peaks in the density field. There is good observational evidence that these lighthouses do not provide a uniform description of the distribution of dark matter.

Keywords: dark matter: galaxies — clusters: galaxies — dwarf galaxies: luminosity function — dwarf galaxies: mass function
