Specimens were euthanized and their reproductive organs were fixed in a 4% paraformaldehyde or 2.5% glutaraldehyde solution and submitted to routine histological techniques for light and scanning electron microscopy. In the ovary, during the proestrus phase, we observed developing follicles and <jats:italic>corpus luteum<\/jats:italic> (CL) in regression; during estrus, there were Graafian follicles; during metestrus, there was a hemorrhagic corpus, whereas in diestrus, there was a mature <jats:italic>CL<\/jats:italic>. The uterus was partially double because the cervix was cranially septate but caudally, the septum disappeared, forming a single ostium that opened into the vagina. Changes occurred along the estrous cycle in the uterine and vaginal epithelia, that is, an increase in the uterine epithelium height accompanied by an increase of thickness of the vaginal epithelium during the follicular phase and a decrease of thickness of both epithelia during the luteal phase. The endometrial lining was composed of a simple cuboidal epithelium to simple columnar epithelium with basal nuclei. The vaginal mucosa consisted of epithelium that varied from nonkeratinized stratified squamous (luteal phase) to keratinized stratified squamous (follicular phase). The clitoris was external to the vagina. It presented two protruding lateral keratinized spicules and a centralized urethra, with no common parts between the urinary and genital tracts. Anatomical and histological changes were observed mainly in the cervix, vagina and spicules of the clitoris during the EC.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jmor.21027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,25]],"date-time":"2019-06-25T17:12:33Z","timestamp":1561482753000},"page":"1232-1245","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Morphology of the genital organs of the female red\u2010rumped agouti (<i>Dasyprocta leporina<\/i>, Linnaeus, 1758) during estrous cycle phases and in advanced pregnancy"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"280","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2429-1266","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gleidson Benevides","family":"de Oliveira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Sciences Universidade Federal Rural do Semi\u2010\u00c1rido  Mossor\u00f3 State of Rio Grande do Norte Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H\u00e9lio Noberto","family":"de Ara\u00fajo J\u00fanior","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Sciences Universidade Federal Rural do Semi\u2010\u00c1rido  Mossor\u00f3 State of Rio Grande do Norte Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rejane","family":"dos Santos Sousa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy of Domestic and Wild Animals School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Sciences  Sao Paulo Sao Paulo Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ferdinando Vin\u00edcius Fernandes","family":"Bezerra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Sciences Universidade Federal Rural do Semi\u2010\u00c1rido  Mossor\u00f3 State of Rio Grande do Norte Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amilton Cesar","family":"dos Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy of Domestic and Wild Animals School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Sciences  Sao Paulo Sao Paulo Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlos Eduardo Bezerra","family":"de Moura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Sciences Universidade Federal Rural do Semi\u2010\u00c1rido  Mossor\u00f3 State of Rio Grande do Norte Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandre Rodrigues","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Sciences Universidade Federal Rural do Semi\u2010\u00c1rido  Mossor\u00f3 State of Rio Grande do Norte Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hugo Alexandre","family":"de Oliveira Rocha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bioscience Center, Department of Biochemistry Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte  Natal State of Rio Grande do Norte Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Moacir Franco","family":"de Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Sciences Universidade Federal Rural do Semi\u2010\u00c1rido  Mossor\u00f3 State of Rio Grande do Norte Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Reproductive characteristics of the female grass cutter (Thryonomys swinderianus) and formulation of colony breeding strategies","volume":"19","author":"Addo P.
