translocation
Movement between locations
Translocation is movement from one place to another, used almost exclusively in technical contexts.
In genetics, a translocation is the transfer of a chromosome segment to a different position, often causing disease.
In botany, translocation is the movement of water and nutrients through a plant's vascular system.
In conservation biology, it means relocating animals to establish new populations: The wolves were translocated to Yellowstone.
