"Migration" is the repeated movement back and forth of a population. =
This new phrase "assisted migration", in contrast, seems to apply to =
human assistance in dispersal/range extension, to compensate for climate =
change.

Clearly the term is already spawning confusion. I suggest we banish it =
in its infancy, and use a term such as "assisted dispersal", "species =
translocation", or something that accurately describes the idea.
