Summary: Mexico City is frequently affected by strong earthquakes, and the city has gained valuable experience in seismic strengthening and retrofitting techniques for different structural systems. Most of the strengthened and retrofitted buildings in the city performed well during earthquakes, but some issues were observed due to poor detailing, structural irregularities, resonant responses, and incorrect retrofitting strategies.

Summary: A new Tillandsia species, Tillandsia alcatrazensis, was discovered in southeast Brazil. It is morphologically similar to T. geminiflora but differs in plant size, floral bract size, flower length, and color. Despite being part of a national protected area, Tillandsia alcatrazensis is classified as Critically Endangered (CR) due to its small and restricted distribution.

Summary: Parasitoid wasps are recognized as a highly abundant and diverse group of organisms on Earth, with a crucial role in regulating populations of Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, and Diptera. However, there is still limited knowledge regarding the biology and taxonomy of many parasitoid species. This study describes a new species of Pseudophanerotoma and its host, the tortricid moth Cryptaspasma perseana, providing detailed taxonomic and barcoding information.

Summary: A new species of Tillandsia called Tillandsia chingacensis is described in this article. This species stands out due to its densely resin-covered floral parts and unusually long fruits. Despite having distichous flowers and petal appendages, it is considered to belong in Tillandsia rather than Vriesea due to its morphological affinities to species of Tillandsia subg. Allardtia. The discovery of this species is a result of recent explorations in a former war zone near Bogota (Colombia), indicating that more taxonomic discoveries can be expected from these recently opened areas.

Summary: This study investigated the distribution and endemism of Bromeliaceae in the Western Sierra-Coast region of Jalisco, Mexico. A total of 53 species belonging to nine genera were found, with a high proportion of endemic species. The majority of these plants were distributed in oak forests at an altitude range of 250-750 meters, and the municipality of Cabo Corrientes was identified as the main distribution area. Despite their restricted distribution, none of the endemic species are currently listed under special protection, highlighting the need for conservation efforts in the region.

Summary: The rediscovery of Erigeron morelensis, which had not been collected since 1898, is reported. This species was found at two sites in the northwestern canyons of Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico between 2021 and 2022, which are facing degradation pressure. The morphological description is updated and complemented, along with the inclusion of a key for E. sect. Erigeridium. Data regarding the known distribution, ecology, and habitat of the species are provided. Based on the IUCN criteria, it is recommended that the species be listed as Critically Endangered (CR).

Summary: This study describes and illustrates a new species, Struthanthus ibe-dzi, discovered in the cloud and pine-oak forests of the Sierra Madre del Sur in Oaxaca, Mexico. This species shares similarities in leaf shape and inflorescence type with S. deppeanus, S. quercicola, and S. ramiro-cruzii. However, S. ibe-dzi can be distinguished by its glaucous branches, leaves, and inflorescences; compressed nodes; convoluted distal half of styles in pistillate flowers; and staminate flowers with asymmetrical thecae and an extended connective forming an apiculate horn in both anther series. A distribution map and identification key are provided for distinguishing S. ibe-dzi from morphologically similar congeners in the region.
