3. The data on the right were collected from a rocky shore field trip. Periwinkles from four common species of the genus Littorina were sampled in a continuous belt transect from the low water mark, to a height of 10 m above that level. The number of each of the four species in a 1 m² quadrat was recorded.

Question
114 Kite graphs are an ideal way in which to present distributional probable differences in habitat preference between specie graphs may also be used to show changes in distribution data from a belt transect (e.g. abundance or percentage cover along an environmental gradient. Usually, they involve plots for more than one species. This makes them good for highlighting time (e.g. with daily or seasonal cycles). 3. The data on the right were collected from a rocky shore field trip. Periwinkles from four common species of the genus Littorina were sampled in a continuous belt transect from the low water mark, to a height of 10 m above that level. The number of each of the four species in a 1 m² quadrat was recorded. Plot a kite graph of the data for all four species on the grid below. Be sure to choose a scale that takes account of the maximum number found at any one point and allows you to include all the species on the one plot. Include the scale on the diagram so that the number at each point on the kite can be calculated.
