to be like this subtitle (starting in 1 to 10 or include the small circles too)

Do you mean a subtitle for your plot (i.e. the subtitle argument that you pass to labs())?

Nice little post on ggplot2 titles, subtitles, and captions here:

not exactly the subtitle, more like the scale of the subtitle. i would like to have more intervals instead of just 5, 7.5 and 10.

thanks

Just to clarify you are referring to the legend of the plot not the subtitle

You can set the size, range, and breaks using scale_size().

You can change the breaks like this, and btw if you don't want the color to change with the count, you can just take the color argument out of the aes() statement.

binary_data %>%
    gather(Estação, Presence, primavera:inverno) %>% 
    group_by(Hemisfério, Estação) %>% 
    summarise(species_count = sum(Presence)) %>%
    ggplot(aes(x = Estação, y = Hemisfério)) +
    geom_point(aes(size = species_count), color = "#000066") +
    scale_size_continuous(range = c(3,18), breaks = c(3, 6, 9, 12)) +
    labs(size = 'Número de espécies') +
    theme_classic()
