对卫星遥测数据的分析大多在收集之后很久才进行，因为整理和解释这些材料需要时间和精力。延迟报告降低了这些数据对自然保护的有用性，因为自然保护需要及时提供有关动物活动的信息。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了一种新的方法，它结合了自动分析卫星遥测数据与快速通信的见解来自这些数据。一个相对简单的算法（基于从定位计算的径向和角速度）允许即时检测远离定居区的偏移，并根据剩余数据自动计算本垒范围。自动化检测偏移和家庭范围计算使我们能够通过专用的门户网站即时传播来自卫星标签数据的生态见解。卫星标签和其他生态数据的自动化分析、解释和通信为自然保护研究和实践提供了明显的好处。本文的在线版本（doi：10.1007/s13280-015-0711-3）包含补充材料，可供授权用户使用。
Analysis of satellite-telemetry data mostly occurs long after it has been collected, due to the time and effort needed to collate and interpret such material. Delayed reporting reduces the usefulness of such data for nature conservation where timely information about animal movements is required. To counter this problem, we present a novel approach which combines automated analysis of satellite-telemetry data with rapid communication of insights derived from such data. A relatively simple algorithm (based on radial and angular velocity calculated from fixes) allowed instantaneous detection of excursions away from settlement areas and automated calculation of home ranges on the remaining data. Automating the detection of both excursions and home-range calculations enabled us to disseminate ecological insights from satellite-tag data instantaneously through a dedicated web portal. The automated analysis, interpretation, and communication of satellite-tag and other ecological data offer clear benefits to nature conservation research and practice.
