The pie chart you made to visualize the differences in the number of species for each category is great. The only issue is that since some of the slices are so small, there isn't much room for the percentage labels. Some of the percentage labels overlap and become difficult to read. There has also been some research done on pie charts compared to other forms of data visualization, and readers often are able to understand less information from pie charts than from other forms of visualization. Here is quick read on pie charts and visualization methods.
