Freshwater Harpacticoida from Borneo (Malaysia): New Records and Faunistic Insights into an Overlooked Group

Borneo, one of the world’s largest tropical islands, has so far been poorly explored for freshwater harpacticoid copepods. Until recently, only twelve species were known, all from the Malaysian state of Sabah. Based on 31 samples collected across Sabah and Sarawak in 2024, we rep...

The Zooplankton International Geospatial dataset: A global repository of spatiotemporal freshwater zooplankton community composition data from lakes and reservoirs to support ecological research

Abstract Zooplankton transfer substantial energy in aquatic food webs and are used as indicators of environmental change. Syntheses of zooplankton community dynamics globally require datasets that span a wide range of environmental gradients; however, these datasets are limited d...

The Gittins Index for a Transparent One-Armed Bandit with a Continuous Payoff Spectrum in Equilibrium States

We present an analogue of the classical Gittins index for a one-armed decision problem with a continuous spectrum of payoffs. The model assumes that the decision-maker observes independent realizations of a random variable and, at each step, decides whether to accept the current...
