- Aulaco- — A scientific combining form borrowed from Ancient Greek (aulax, -akos), utilized in international technical terminology to express the concept of a furrow, groove, slot, or linear structural depression. It is used in botanical, entomological, and paleontological taxonomy to describe surfaces with parallel grooves.
- Aulacocarpous — Having fruits marked by deep furrows, prominent grooves, linear striations, or visible parallel channels on the outer surface of the pericarp. It is a specific epithet rarely used in botanical taxonomy to differentiate species with this particular geometric profile.
- Aulacoceras — An extinct genus of dibranchiate cephalopods from the order Belemnoidea, characteristic of the Triassic period. This ancient marine organism was notable for an elongated, conical, calcareous internal shell marked on its outer surface by prominent longitudinal grooves.
- Aulacophilous — A specialized term describing a plant organism or biological structure that exhibits a structural, adaptive, or ecological affinity for furrowed areas, grooves, channels, or deep linear cracks in the substrate.
- Aulacospermous — Having seeds marked by furrows, deep grooves, or prominent longitudinal channels on the outer surface of the seed coat. It is an epithet used in botanical taxonomy to differentiate species based on the micromorphology of reproductive structures.
