You've thus undermined your argument for ignoring evolution as a part of
ecology.
I can think of plenty of areas of ecology -- pollination and seed
dispersal, for instance -- where evolutionary ideas are key components
of their theoretical foundation.
There is also a key historical fact

of the wheel, however nonetheless we still can and do observe succession
and it stands as the basic point of reference for most ecology.

Can you elaborate? While there are certainly some examples of cases
where evolution is important in ecology, it seems to me that if the
creationists turned out to be right, most of ecology would remain the
same.
If I had to pick a short basis of ecology, it would consist of two facts.
