Setting up seasonal effects

setSeasonalReproduction()
Set seasonal reproduction

Gonad release functions

Functions for specifying the time-dependence of the gonad release rates

seasonalBetaHazardRelease()
Beta hazard mass-specific gonad release rate
seasonalBetaRelease()
Beta distributed gonad release rate
seasonalGaussianRelease()
Gaussian mass-specific gonad release rate
seasonalVonMisesRelease()
von-Mises distributed gonad release rate

Reproduction rate functions

Functions for specifying the rate of offspring production after taking extra non-linear effects into account

seasonalBevertonHoltRDD()
Beverton Holt function to calculate density-dependent reproduction rate
seasonalVonMisesRDD()
von-Mises distributed reproduction rate independent of abundance

Seasonal resource dynamics

seasonal_resource_semichemostat()
Seasonal semichemostat resource dynamics

Plotting functions

plotGonadsVsTime()
Plot per-capita gonadic mass through time at a given size
plotRDD()
Plot density-dependent reproduction rate over time
plotRDI()
Plot density-independent reproduction rate over time
animateGonadSpectra()
Animation of the gonadic mass spectra

Helper functions

Functions that you will not need to call directly.

projectRDI(<mizerSeasonal>)

projectEncounter(<mizerSeasonal>)
Seasonal encounter rate including gonadic mass of prey via S3 dispatch
gonadDynamics()
