About Habronattus sansoni (Emerton, 1915)

Habronattus sansoni is a species of jumping spider that belongs to the family Salticidae. It is found in the United States and Canada. This species has a distinct mating behavior: males of Habronattus sansoni perform courtship with multiple different partners, while females typically mate only once. Compared to closely related females that are close to this species in the phylogenetic tree, males of Habronattus sansoni are smaller in size, which reduces the likelihood that they will mate and produce hybrid offspring.
