The principle of their nonlinear evolution is to generate secularly growing small-scale magnetic fluctuations that on average cancel the temporal change in the large-scale magnetic field responsible for the pressure anisotropies. The presence of small-scale magnetic fluctuations may dramatically affect the transport properties and, thereby, the large-scale dynamics of the high-beta astrophysical plasmas.revtex, 4 pages, 1 figure; replaced to match published versionAstrophysicsPlasma PhysicsSpace PhysicsNonlinear growth of firehose and mirror fluctuations in turbulent galaxy-cluster plasmastext
