>>> Hi Luis,
>>> whatever R code you will end up using, the example image you attached is a good example of how NOT to display ecological data. There is no ecological meaning for the lines connecting the dots (i.e, there is nothing halfway between an ant and a termite), as the x axis shows categorial classes and not a continous parameter such as time to consume prey or prey size etc...
