Koala translocation: malnourished, emaciated and dead
"NSW government rejected expert advice before failed koala reintroduction that left more than half dead.
Eight of the 13 koalas moved from forest near Wollongong to the South East Forest national park near Bega died over a two-month period."
"Documents reveal state environment department had ‘reckless indifference’ to fate of individual koalas, Greens spokesperson Sue Higginson says. The New South Wales government rejected advice from an expert scientific panel before it attempted a failed reintroduction of koalas to a forest in the state’s south that resulted in the death of more than half the animals."

Translocation experiment: Deaths of seven out of 13 koalas
More than half of koalas relocated to NSW forest died in failed government attempt at reintroduction
"Translocation and deaths of seven out of 13 koalas in April, with some showing signs of septicaemia, not made public by state government. An attempt by the New South Wales government to reintroduce koalas to a forest in the state’s far south has failed after more than half of the moved animals died, including two with signs of septicaemia, and the remaining marsupials were taken into care."

Cassowary banishment from tropical forests
Urban sprawl and wildlife translocation
"Only around 4,000 southern cassowaries are thought to remain in Australia, and the species is threatened by habitat destruction, vehicle strikes, dog attacks and climate change."
An "endangered southern cassowary was discovered underweight and with a belly full of tomato seeds and fruits scavenged from compost bins. Several reports indicated the bird had been wandering along roads close to cane fields and was in danger of being hit by a car or truck."

Protein translocation is an essential, nano-scale dynamic process that facilitates the movement of proteins across cellular membranes, enabling them to reach specific locations within the cell or to be transported outside the cell. This process occurs through membrane protein complexes that provide necessary channels for the movement of proteins.
The snakes belong here
"Years-long research project finds snakes become 'very disoriented', lose weight and get sick when relocated.The snakes belong here. They have always been here and it's us humans coming in needing to learn how to live better with snakes."

Hundreds of snakes are moved from backyards, inside homes and other urban areas into reserves and bushland around Canberra each year — but until now, little has been known about what happens to snakes after they’re released.
Abstract In this experiment the development of the various chromosomal interchanges in Sowa (Anethum graveolens L.) was accomplished with the help of Gamma irradiations. The pollen mother cells of Anethum graveolens were observed to be perfectly normal in untreated plants and displayed a regular formation of eleven bivalents at diakinesis, followed by normal separation (11:11) at anaphase I. Cytological manifestation of chromosome configurations at diakinesis and metaphase-I exhibited translocation heterozygotes by the formation of either ring or chain of chromosomes in PMCs of Sowa, particularly at higher doses of Gamma irradiation (200 Gy). The translocation lines showed discernible prevalence of rings (56.58%) over chains (43.42%). In chromosomal configuration, PMCs of Irradiated plants, shows the presence of minimum one or more quadrivalent and bivalents, besides this, some PMCs showed other configurations such as trivalents, pentavalents, hexavalent, and octavalent along with variable number of univalents. At diakinesis, stage of PMCs, 2III + 1IX + 2IV + 1II + 1I configuration was observed in maximum (12.88%) followed by 6II + 1IV + 1V + 1I (12.37%) and 1VII + 1V + 2IV + 2I (11.85%). The configuration 1X + 2IV + 2II showed the lowest (5.15%) frequency. However, a variety of anomalies such as unequal separation (34.93%), laggards (21.91%) and bridges (12.32%) were also recorded. Pollen fertility was reduced (41.21 ± 0.19%) in translocation lines as comparison to control plant (98.59 ± 0.25%). Translocation heterozygotes might be used as an initial foundation for developing aneuploids with novel gene combinations.
