The first textbook to cover ecology specifically and separate from general biology was “Fundamentals of Ecology”, written by the late Dr. Eugene P. Odum over the period 1949-1951, and published in 1953. See http://www.edwardgoldsmith.com/page33.html for a brief biography of the man and a word or two on his book.
