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.
