Overwintering and resident birds in Qatar: explorations with DNA barcoding

The data provided here compliment the genetic and photographic data provided in the Barcode of Life Database (BOLD) dataset DOI: dx.doi.org/10.5883/DS-QAVES. Here, we provide morphological measurements from 97 capture events on 92 individual birds in Qatar. Birds were primarily captured between January and March 2020. , , # Data from: Overwintering and resident birds in Qatar: explorations with DNA barcoding

## Description of the data and file structure

Birds were captured in order to sample blood for DNA barcoding. Standard morphological measurements were taken. 

### Files and variables

#### File: MorphologyData.csv

**Description:** Each row represents a capture event. Individuals captured repeatedly have data in the NHMO and QAVES columns only once, because we did not take repeated genetic samples. Values of \"none\" in the QAVES column are for repeated captures without blood samples. Values of \"none\" in the NHMO column also include some individuals where blood samples were taken but not accessioned to the NHMO. In the other variables, \"not taken\" indicates individuals where measurements were not taken (e.g., due to the weight being outside the range of the scale). 

##### Variables

* Genus: Genus name
* species: specific epithet
* Ri...,
