His appointment in 1961 to CSIRO Division of Entomology in Canberra was to investigate chemicals such as attractants, pheromones and defence secretions, and allowed him to combine his chemical and entomological expertise. He was a keen amateur entomologist in his youth and this interest continued when he came to Australia. His main interest was in carabid beetles and he published extensively on the taxonomy of the carabid fauna of Australia, New Zealand and nearby Pacific islands. Many of his publications included his skilful scraperboard illustrations. Most of Moore's collections were deposited in the Australian National Insect Collection: Australian Carabidae shortly after his retirement; Odonata in 1993; the remainder of his non-carabid collections (>12,000 specimens) in 2018. The carabid genus Barrymooreana was named in his honour. 1945 1945 Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc), University of Sheffield, United Kingdom 1947 1947 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of Sheffield, United Kingdom 1950 1950 Career position - Postdoctoral Fellow, National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa, Canada 1950 1950 Education - DPhil, University of Oxford 1951 1958 Career position - Research scientist, Pest Infestation Laboratory, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, United Kingdom 1957 1958 Career position - President, South London Entomological and Natural History Society 1958 1958 Life event - Migrated to Australia 1958 1961 Career position - Research scientist, Chemical Research Laboratories, CSIRO Division of Industrial Chemistry, Melbourne 1961 1985 Career position - Head, Division of Physiology and Toxicology, CSIRO Division of Entomology 1962 1974 Career position - Vice-President, Australian Entomological Society 1973 1974 Career position - Chairman, National Executive, Australian Entomological Society 1975 1982 Career position - Editor, Journal of the Australian Entomological Society journal 1985 1985 Life event - Retired 1985 2015?
