In this study, the presence of potential self-awareness traits was tested for in single and groups of wild Adelie penguins, on a remote island in Antarctica, by examining their postural and gestural responses, and reactions to their images in mirrors, during four innovative experimental paradigms: group-behaviour test, modified mirror test, hidden-head test, and the coloured-bib test.

The article pays a tribute to Dr M. R. Srinivasan, Former Chairman, Atomic Energy Commission, and describes his contributions, which put India firmly on the track for planning, construction, and commissioning of about nuclear reactors in various parts of the country.

Particulate chloride (pCl) is a significant constituent of atmospheric particulate matter, playing a critical role as a key precursor to secondary aerosols via nocturnal heterogeneous reactions. While coarse pCl typically prevails along the coastal belt, however, the growing presence of fine pCl in the interior regions is an emerging air quality concern. Anthropogenic sources driving these emissions remain poorly characterised, particularly in India, where existing global inventories lack resolution and specificity.
