Consider the equation u'(t)=ℓ0(u)(t)-ℓ1(u)(t)+f(u)(t)\qquadfor~a.~e.~ t∈ℝ where ℓi:Cloc(ℝ;ℝ)→ Lloc(ℝ;ℝ) (i=0,1) are linear positive continuous operators and f:Cloc(ℝ;ℝ)→ Lloc(ℝ;ℝ) is a continuous operator satisfying the local Carathéodory conditions. The efficient conditions guaranteeing the existence of a global solution, which is bounded and non-negative in the neighbourhood of -∞, to the equation considered are established provided ℓ0, ℓ1, and f are Volterra's type operators. The existence of a solution which is positive on the whole real line is discussed, as well. Furthermore, the asymptotic properties of such solutions are studied in the neighbourhood of -∞. The results are applied to certain models appearing in natural sciences.
