   I'm trying to limit the number of posts that show up on a category's archive page. I used query_posts in the category's template file and now posts from different categories are displayed on the category's archive page and too many posts are still being displayed.

   I added this near the top...
   <?php query_posts('showposts=5'); if (have_posts()) : ?>
   and this near the bottom...
   <?php endif; wp_reset_query(); ?>
   and the archive page http://www.social-ecology.org/category/biodev/
   lists 7 posts (not 5) and includes posts that aren't in the biodev category.

   Can anyone tell me what's going on here?
   Thanks!

   is there a reason why you can't use the setting in 'settings' 'reading' ?

   if there is, try to include the $query_string:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts#Usage_Note

   <?php
   global $query_string;
   query_posts( $query_string . "&posts_per_page=5" );
   if (have_posts()) :
   ?>
