I'd like to see even more such links on this subject. Sometimes I think the choice of terminology can obscure matters more than it clarifies them. If there is directional selection on a variety of levels (molecular, developmental, populational, etc.), do we need call it something entirely different at each of those levels?

Certain Web pages may be of interest to Taxacomers relevant to orthogenesis, canalization, molecular drive, and concerted evolution.
I especially like
http://www.nmsr.org/round2a.htm, which throws Biotic Message Theory into the
mix, doubtless justifiably.
A quick summary of concerted evolution is at

While Net et al. 2000 think concerted evolution is possibly an unnecessary concept:
