biology revisions since 25 years ago

[Pulk]

I have the 1982 version of Biology of Spiders, by Rainier F. Foelix, and I'm about to read, or at least pretend to read it...

I'm wondering what areas of spider biology have had the most significant developments between then and now, so I know what to take with a grain of salt (at least) when I read this.

thanks

This book may not represent the state of the art in regards to arachnology, but i believe that all informations in it are valid!
This book covers the basics of many research topics, but still it's emphasis is mainly on spider anatomy and physiology.

If you want to read about spider ecology, rather grab a copy of "spiders in ecological webs" by David H. Wise, which is also a bit outdated by now, but very readable and informative!
