let the writing begin

Work on writing section(s) 3 (and some of 4 or even 5 if time permits) from prief_outline.pdf to prief_manuscript.Rnw

@lizzieinvancouver next I will continue onward to section 4!

Chatting with @dbuona about our model (versus other ones I have been writing about):

• environment determines phenology and that determines competition
• and we allow competition and phenology to vary and find the trade-offs
• we include spread in germination kernel -- species compete within a season.
• @donahuem thinks what is different is interannual variation in the way the priority effects come in.

@donahuem also: We created a model where we have a fair amount of flexibility in the timing and shape of the germination .... what we allowed for relatively complex phenological response to the environment (overwintering) -- including delay and germination fraction.

Some models look only at the headstart and our old model looked only at the germination fraction -- this model does both. (Remember: We only show results with fixed germination fraction.) This says how much do you germinate in years where you have an advantage. --> This is where phenology to competition matters! (Of my environment -> phenology -> competition framing).

Note: risk is included in future directions in paper (so I should not use it too much).

My notes from 8 July 2024 Prieff meeting:

Fundamentally any resource competition ends up with a winner, how do we do it? We add another axis (timing).

• I could rewrite my section to be more about how they model timing then separate paragraph on how the add competition
• Cold snaps etc. as another space to increase coexistence (but I don't write about it) ... but do we talk about why species have these complex cues and mention this? And come back to it as another important axis.
• Axis of risk (which depends on environment and phenotype)
