Here a some that I can think of off hand:

Founder effects
Accumulation of neutral mutations
Gene and chromosome rearrangements
Lateral gene transfer
Viral transmission of genes
Gene duplication
Chromosome duplication
Genes that control and even increase mutation rates
Direct genetic responses to environmental factors
Endosymbiosis
Species selection - differential survival of lineages
Mass extinctions as agents of evolutionary change
