I wish place the following axis label in such a manner that some of the
text is plain and the scientific name is in italics (i.e. a mixture of
two font types)

 

 

Using plot:

 

mtext("Total Landings of Pecten maximus (tonnes)",font,=3, side=2,
line=3)

 

makes everything italic, but how do I apply the font change to only
"Pecten maximus"?
