R-sig-ecology (72-19): Plot question
Hi, whether this is good or not good way to show ecological data I believe you can create a plot like that using ggplot2 package. Here is the link to some nice description with examples. Hope that will help:) cheers, 2014-03-24 19:49 GMT+01:00 Martin Weiser <weiser2 at natur.cuni.cz>:
Hi Claas, while this may be not the best plot one can imagine, I think it shows well behaviour of individual spider (results are grouped by spider identity, I guess). So yes, one could use specific symbol per spider, but this seems like a usable way how to to cope with the "per-spider" grouping, isn't it?

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...

Dear R friends,
I have to produce a plot like the one attached on the file. The idea is to
plot the time spent for a spider over several different prey, the spiders
were repreated in the different trials. If any of you knows how to perform
this plot or have any source which explains how to do it, I would really
appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
