A team of researchers at University College London's Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment has found that drive male, stalk-eyed flies do not suffer fertility reduction, despite losing half their sperm, by increasing the size of their testes. The group describes their study of the flies and their reproductive physiology in their paper published in the journal Biology Letters.
