Inclusion of thermal anisotropy effects is shown to be required to describe recently reported experimental measurements as shear-modified, ion acoustic instabilities. For the reported experimental conditions, isotropic theory yields no instability growth that depends on the magnitude of the shear in the parallel flow.
