By comparing sex-ratio distributions in stalk-eyed fly (Cyrtodiopsis) progeny we found that female-biased sex ratios occur in species exhibiting eye-stalk sexual dimorphism11,12 and female preferences for long eye span13,14. Female-biased sex ratios result from meiotic drive15, the preferential transmission of a 'selfish'
