Taken together, the latest key observations assume that (i) old metal-rich globular cluster populations (MRGCPs) in bulges were able to form due to an increased self-induced star formation rate (SFR) in their host galaxies, while galaxy merging played an additional role; (ii) massive star cluster populations (MSCPs) in irregulars may be young, less prominent counterparts of the old MRGCPs in spheroids.
