What are examples of commensalism in the tropical savanna?

Many birds depend on insects which are disturbed from vegetation by movements of large grazers, particularly elephants. The insects are quickly caught by sharp-eyed oxpeckers and bee-eaters. Other birds follow at more sedately pace, to make meals of insects and larvae attracted to the herbivores dung. This is typical commensalism: birds benefit from the activities of elephants but do not affect the huge mammals in any way.
