Zusammenfassung:[Display omitted] ► Molecular detection of interspecific interactions between parasitoids and hyperparasitoids of Aphis gossypii in Hawaii. ► Rearing underestimates the occurrence of some parasitoid species, whereas molecular tools can detect rare occurrences. ► Despite the diversity of aphid parasitoids in Hawaii, multiparasitism between primary parasitoids was rare (
