In the present paper the mirror mode instability is discussed in the framework of simplified and reduced quasi‐linear kinetic theory, which includes the contribution of electrons.

However, upon carrying out the quasi‐linear analysis, it is shown that high initial growth rate does not necessarily imply dynamical importance, since the saturated magnetic field intensity associated with electron mirror instability is extremely low and that the influence on the particle temperatures is minimal. The present finding shows that under some circumstances, the dynamical consequences of a system cannot simply be estimated on the basis of the linear prediction alone and that nonlinear analysis must be taken into account. The electron mirror instability is a prime example of such a case.</jats:p> Electron contribution in mirror instability in quasi‐linear regime Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics
