Understanding the nature of biological invasions is an important grand challenge, and we share Prof. Hedrick's concern for developing good theory and mechanistic understanding of the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of invasion (Hedrick, 2020). We understand the concern that FIS cannot be calculated from the expected and observed heterozygosity values provided in the table 1 of Winkler et al. (2019) and acknowledge this discrepancy exists because of the different ways subpopulations and loci were handled by our analytical methods. Specifically, FIS was calculated using the heterozygosity estimate HS, calculated as
