Abstract

The authors would like to thank the discusser (Koutsoftas 2020) for the critical re-evaluation of the results presented by Di Buò et al. ( 2019) and for the observations on sample quality criteria. In particular, the discusser indicated three items requiring clarification. The authors are glad to provide additional explanations and information.
