  "abstract": "Local galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey are used to provide additional support for an evolutionary pathway in which AGN activity is associated with star-formation quenching. Composite, Seyfert 2 and LINER galaxies account for $\\sim$60\\% of all star-formation in massive galaxies ($M_\\star > 10^{10.5} M_\\odot$). Inclusion of these galaxies results in a \"turnover\" in the $SFR - M_\\star$ relation for massive galaxies. Our analysis shows that bulge growth has already occurred in the most massive galaxies ($M_\\star > 10^{10.5}$ $M_\\odot$), and bulges continue to grow as galaxies quench and redden, $(g-r)$ = 0.5 $\\rightarrow$ 0.75. Significant bulge growth is also occurring in low mass starburst galaxies ($M_\\star < 10^{10.5} M_\\odot$) at 0.5 dex above the \"main sequence\" (MS), where we find an increase in $B/T$ from 0.1 $\\rightarrow$ 0.3 and bluer colours, $(g-r) < 0.25$ compared to low-mass galaxies on the MS.",
