The nuclear clouds (0-0.45 kpc) are the only bin well represented by a truncated power law. Adamo et al. (2015) excluded this inner bin due to the high luminosity gradient and the more active star formation. The stellar clusters, in contrast, are well described by a truncation for the three outer bins [2]. The indices found for the GMCs are along the same magnitude as those found for GMCs in other nearby galaxies, but in relation to the stellar clusters in M83 the indices are larger and do not consistently increase outwards (Table 1) [1].  \begin{center}  \begin{table}   \begin{tabular}{ c c c }  Bin (kpc) & GMC index & Stellar cluster index \\
