Wouldn't those examples be natural selection, not evolution?

I don't think you know what you're talking about.

Evolution = variation + selection

I gather you accept selection. Do you think variation does not exist?

Natural selection and evolution aren't the same thing. Unless you presume that all the current traits of every creature on earth existed within the original single cell that supposedly started all this. Evolution requires countless millions of mutations to add new information.

Macroevolution would require the addition of genetic material; natural selection does not, relying on existing genetic material in the population. You should know this already.
