The paper shows that stalk-eyed fly drive males have enlarged testes at eclosion due to resource allocation during pupation, not adult development, and this supports an adaptive strategy for maintaining fertility despite sperm loss.

This study shows that meiotic drive does not hinder sperm competition success in stalk-eyed flies, as SR males sire equivalent offspring to non-carrier males in double mating trials.

The paper examines how meiotic drive in stalk-eyed flies affects male fertility and resource allocation, finding that drive males maintain high fertility despite sperm destruction.
