Bernieri: Commensalism

Clown fish, amphipnon ocellaris. Found at 42.35886, -71.050829.

King Vulture, Sarcoramphus papa. Found at 41.783989, -71.418742.  King vultures will often make the initial tear through hide so that other vultures with less powerful beaks can feed when the king vulture is done.

Pronghorn, antilocapra americana. Found at 41.783989, -71.418742.  Pronghorn often share their habitat with cattle, bison, sheep, and horses and can improve the grazing for these species by eating noxious weeds and invasive plants.
