Where their ecological ranges overlap, ecotypes rarely interact and do not appear to interbreed.

在生幅度重叠的地方，生很少相互作用，似乎也会杂交。

Distinct killer whale populations are known as " ecotypes" and can differ in size, colour and body proportion.

的虎鲸种群被称为“生”，大小、颜色和身比例可能有所。

The most studied killer-whale ecotypes are the three that occupy the north-east Pacific coastline, from northern Alaska to southern California.

研究最多的虎鲸生是占据东北太平洋海岸线（从阿拉斯加北部到加利福尼亚南部）的三种虎鲸生。

Different killer-whale ecotypes even communicate using distinct " dialects" made of clicks, whistles and calls, with " accents" that differ between pods.

的虎鲸生甚至使用由滴答声、口哨声和叫声组成的“方言”进行交流，群之间的“口音”也。

Most of what makes killer-whale ecotypes distinct is their culture-socially learned behaviours that killer whales are known to transmit from one generation to the next.

虎鲸生的独特之处在于它们的文化：众所周知，虎鲸会将社会习得行为代代相传。
