Shifting precipitation regimes influence optimal germination strategies and population dynamics in bet-hedging desert annuals

This submission contains all that is necessary to generate Figures 1-6 and Appendices A-D of the paper entitled "Shifting Precipitation Regimes Influence Optimal Germination Strategies and Population Dynamics in Bet-hedging Desert Annuals". A readme.txt file is incorporated and describes all csv and R-script files. It also includes a roadmap for running the scripts on one's own if one wants to re-generate their own data files. However, data files have been included so that one can instantly generate the figures.
