1	defineMetrics()

All of the functions we calculated for our manuscript are included in this function. To add additional functions, they can either be defined on the fly or, to permanently include a new metric in all downstream simulations, it can be included here. The function needs to be included with a name, and it must accept a metrics.input as input. If the function needs additional elements not included in that input, then the prepData function must also be revised. Currently MRD references the non-abundance-weighted version of the function. This is simply so calcField knows how to handle the results downstream. Reminder to modify that function if abundance-weighted MRD is to be implemented here.
