Its main ecotypes are estuarine and marine, mangrove swamps, coastal savanna, broadleaf gallery forest, humid subtropical forest (10-15% of the area), very humid tropical forest (~80% of the area) and on the ridge tops, elfin forest, according to Herrera-MacBryde (1995) on whose descriptive summary the following is based.

But as researchers began observing killer whales more closely, they discovered that the marine mammals seem to belong to several different groups, called ecotypes, with different feeding habits and appearances.

Thus, an initial response to climate change in such species is likely to be a change in the distribution and abundance of ecotypes within a species distribution [20].

Taxonomic affinities show that many of its species migrated from tropical regions and are closer allied to tropical ecotypes than to temperate ones.
-
Such a strategy preserves complete gene pools and specially adapted ecotypes, and provides maximum opportunity for natural migration and disturbance recovery.
