In 1995, after an absence of nearly 10 years, wolves were reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park. During the wolf-free era, heavy browsing of aspen trees by elk populations spelled doom not only for the trees themselves but for a host of other creatures dependent on them, such as beavers, whose population in Yellowstone crashed after wolves were removed. Without beavers to create ponds, wetland ecosystems-aquatic plants, amphibians, birds-were devastated. When wolves retuned, grazers and browsers resumed normal patterns of behavior, preferring safer, open areas over the dense cover and streamsides where carnivores can lurk. Keeping elk wary and on the move, wolves gave aspen and other young trees the opportunity to grow and become reestablished.

It must be acknowledged that data on ceramic artifacts do not provide the complete picture of regional economic interactions in the ancient Basin of Mexico. First, patterns of exchange between settlements cannot be understood purely through chemical compositional analysis, even when pottery provenance can be securely determined: compositional data do not indicate exactly how pots moved from one place to another or how many times a vessel was exchanged. In addition, ceramics are not the only kind of material that was exchanged between settlements. The transport of bulky and breakable ceramic pots was costly, and clay resources were widely available. Therefore, the orbits within which most ceramics circulated are likely to have been smaller than those of artifacts made from more durable materials, such as obsidian.

In an attempt to reduce the number of violent crimes committed by juveniles, the city of Fiera imposed a curfew requiring juveniles everyone younger than eighteen-to be indoors between the hours of 11 P.M. and 6 A.M. In the two years since the curfew was imposed, the number of violent crimes committed by juveniles in Fiera has fallen by almost ten percent.
