[R] italics help in plot

Part of my script reads: speciesName - names(data)[i] plot(year,depth, xlab=Year, ylab=Depth(m),main=expression(italic(paste(speciesName))) ) Unfortunately, this just plots *speciesName *on my graph, not the name of the species in italics. Any suggestions on how to resolve this? Thank you Jacob
