Abstract
An index of intensity of sexual selection proposed by Nishida (1992: R es. Popul. Ecol. 34: 373-382) was examined. Two examples were presente d to show that Nishida's index was not free from confounding effect of mortality schedule. Importance of removing the phylogenetic effects i n comparative analyses was also discussed.
