We consider linear nonautonomous second order parabolic equa- tions on R N. Under an instability condition, we prove the existence of two complementary Floquet bundles, one spanned by a positive en- tire solution - the principal Floquet bundle, the other one consisting of sign-changing solutions. We establish an exponential separation between the two bundles, showing in particular that a class of sign- changing solutions are exponentially dominated by positive solutions.
