    The authors show the long-time behaviour of bounded uniformly continuous solutions to a nonautonomous monotone functional differential equation with infinite delay \[ z'(t)=F(\omega\dot t, z_t),\; t\geq 0, \;\omega\in\Omega \] where \(\omega\dot t\) is a continuous flow on a compact metric space \(\Omega\) and \(z_t(s)=z(t+s)\) for \(s\in(-\infty,0]\) describes the past ``history'' of \(z\). In the paper the existence of a unique invariant asymptotically stable copy of the base flow is shown for three different scenarios: [1] if \(F\) satisfies a concavity condition and there exists a strong lower solution [2] if \(F\) satisfies a strong concavity condition and there exists a (not necessarily strong) lower solution [3] if \(F\) satisfies some strong nonlinearity condition and a strongly positive bounded semiorbit exists. The results are applied to a nonautonomous stage-structured population model. In this more specific setting the authors are able to prove exponential stablity of the positive recurrent solution whose existence can be established by the previous results.
