Among biotic factors, forest type had differential effects on counts of the two species: while tiger leech counts were greater in low elevation forest types, brown leech counts were greater in high elevation forest types.

We compared a series of negative binomial mixed models and found that, of the abiotic factors, soil moisture had the largest positive effect on encounter rates of both leech species. We analysed a long-term data set (2012-2020) on the closely related tiger (Haemadipsa picta) and brown (Haemadipsa spp.) leech species to investigate if and how abiotic and biotic factors influence their occurrence across a gradient of forest types at an undisturbed tropical rainforest site in Indonesian Borneo. For example, to date no study has assessed the occurrence and distribution of haemadipsid leeches across naturally occurring gradients within intact habitats. They are increasingly used as indicator taxa for biomonitoring, yet very little is known about their basic ecology. 'description': 'Haemadipsid leeches are ubiquitous inhabitants of tropical and sub-tropical forests in the Indo-Pacific region. However, while I might personally retain a preference to eating toasted masa with my ceviche, everyone should experience Peruvian style, sometime.Impacts of abiotic and biotic factors on terrestrial leeches in

The most notable difference in the fish itself may have to do with the leche de tigre marinade lingering at the bottom of the bowl, which is flavored with the Andes’ milder, yellow aji chili peppers, rather than jalapeños and the like.Ĭoya’s got a full menu featuring Peruvian favorites such as baked empañadas ($11) and the tender steak dish, lomo saltado ($28), though seafood seems to be a primary focus. These garnishes bring obvious differences in flavor and texture, compared to Mexican ceviche: starchy sweetness, nuggety chew, and a markedly different crunch, respectively.

There are also kernels of the Andean white corn choclo, which is quite similar to hominy, plus a serving of Peruvian corn nuts made with it, called cancha. Expect the traditional Peruvian presentation, beginning with slices of roasted sweet potato. Or, as I did, opt for the ceviche classico ($17), served with the catch of the day (I believe mine was rockfish).Įither way, you may. Traditional Peruvian empañada filled with ground beef, olives, and hard boiled eggĪt Coya, you may order a ceviche mixto ($21), featuring fish as well as shellfish such as shrimp, scallops, mussels, and calamari. He’s also working to revive the Café Secret brand as a Miramar ghost kitchen, ceviche included. Fans of chef Bratzo may find him catering, and serving food on weekends at the Domaine Artefact Vineyard & Winery in Escondido’s San Pasqual Valley. Founding co-owner and chef Bratzo Basagoitia has not been involved in the restaurant since a messy and complicated split in 2018, though some of his recipes and preparations appear to be. If all but the name sounds familiar, you may have visited the restaurant’s predecessor, Café Secret, which started serving Peruvian food at this location back in 2009. It’s a pleasant environment, but may involve bewildered, swimsuit-clad passersby who clearly hadn’t expected they would pass through an outdoor dining room.

That meant eating outdoors, as Coya is little more than a kitchen with a small, covered patio and a sidewalk parklet, covered with a tangle of trees and vines, and flowers in bloom during my visit. To find an example of the stuff, I went to the Del Mar restaurant, Coya Peruvian Secret. Aside from the kitchen, an outdoor restaurant in Del Mar
