Dear list, I making some box-and-whisker plots in R with vertebrate

with the "axis" function but no luck, and it seems that affects both
axes.
Any tip?

In bwplot just add:

 ..., scales=list(x=list(font=3)),

In this case (and I suppose many others) lattice is much more flexible than base. I initially tried what appeared to be valid strategies with boxplot and ended up tied in knots. Then I noticed your subject line and it was trivial.
