人类活动造成的受威胁物种生境的破碎化是一个重大关切。了解这些动物的扩散生态和范围利用可以极大地帮助设计保护区来保护它们，但对于小型动物种群来说，这些数据极难获得。这里提出的是一个研究微型无源谐波雷达标签，允许濒危蜗牛物种的跟踪，而不会产生不利影响的标签的主题。鞭状天线被发现是有问题的，通过钩住和干扰蜗牛的活动。替代低剖面平面天线也进行了测试，蝴蝶结相关的天线形式提供合理的（高达7英尺）的检测范围。
Fragmentation of threatened species' habitat attributable to anthropogenic activity is a major concern. Understanding these animals' dispersal ecology and range utilization can greatly aid in designing preserves for their conservation, but this data is extremely difficult to obtain for populations of small animals. Presented here is a study miniature passive harmonic radar tags which allow the tracking of an endangered snail species without adversely affecting the tagged subjects. Whip antennas were found to be problematic through snagging and interference with snail activity. Alternative low-profile planar antennas were also tested, with bow-tie related antenna forms providing reasonable (up to 7 ft) detection range.
