They generally compete for territory, food and mates.

∙ 15y agoBecause they are members of the same species, they have the same niche, that is the same needs for their food, shelter, breeding etc. Since they overlap on all levels, they compete for everything, whereas members of 2 different species will only compete with some common needs. Essentially, the differences that make them different species is a part of their niche that they do not overlap, but membes of the same species will overlap.

∙ 14y agoAnimals compete for a variety of reasons, but most of them revolve around territory, mating status, or food. For example, we've all seen images of ungulates (hoofed animals) competing with locked horns, or male lions fighting for control of a pride. Survival and reproduction are the foundational drivers in all cases.

∙ 14y agoMembers of the same species might compete with one another for a number of reasons: food, water, territory and mates. Also, animals who live together, like wolves, compete to get a higher rank, because the member with the highest rank gets the best food.
These competitions usually don't end bad. Quite often it is merely a show, with just a couple of (just hurting) kicks and/or bites. Only if the competitors are determined to win and evenly matched, there is a chance they'll fight to death.

How is the process of the survival of the fittest related to a population's environment?
People often think of evolution as what they call survival of the fittest. However, that means a fight among members of a species. This is not what is really meant. The 'fight' is with the environment and the species and not a fight of one individual with another. If the species has a way of best surviving what the environment throws at it, it will survive. Other species might not and will die out.

What might desert rabbit and mice compete for?
Food would be the main area of competition between desert rabbits and mice. Depending on their shared environment, living space (places providing shelter from predators and for sleeping and breeding) might be another area of competition. For example: if food is plentiful, but safe and available living areas are not, they will compete for the latter, while if food is scarce but living space is plentiful, they'll compete for food. If both necessities are scarce, of course, they'll compete for both. If any or all necessities remain scarce, eventually one species will dominate and the other will migrate from, or die out of, that area.
When two or more species vie for the same limited resource what occurs?
They will compete for it. Competion might not necessarily mean engaging in actual physical conflict, but the species better able to obtain that rescource will prevail over the other.
What might happen to an organism if it has to compete for its source of energy?
