Rhacophorus borneensis is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. This described species is endemic to Malaysian Borneo where it is known from its type locality in the Maliau Basin Conservation Area, Sandakan Division, Sabah as well as from the Batang Ai National Park, Sarawak. Prior to its description, it was included in Rhacophorus reinwardtii, it is said to be "one of the prettiest frogs of Borneo". Common name Borneo flying frog has been coined for it; the type series consists of an adult male and female in amplexus. The male measured 51 mm in snout–vent length and the female 62 mm. Literature records for Bornean "Rhacophorus reinwardtii" representing this species, give a range 46–55 mm for males and 56–65 mm for females; the body is dorsoventrally compressed. The snout is rounded sloping downwards in profile; the eyes are protuberant. The canthus is blunt; the tympanum is subcircular. The fingers and toes are broadly webbed; the dorsum is uniformly green, although some specimens may have dark spots.
The lips are white. The lower parts are immaculate yellowish orange, with chin mottled with back spots; the webbing is dorsally black with fine blue streaks. The male advertisement call is a low chuckle, likened to a woodpecker; the type series, a pair in amplexus, was collected at night when the frogs were perching on a tree branch that extended above the surface of a shallow pool at an elevation of 1,050 m above sea level. No tadpoles nor eggs were found. Frog species sharing the same habitat included Chiromantis inexpectatus, Kurixalus appendiculatus, Polypedates macrotis, Microhyla petrigena. Chiromantis inexpectatus was described based on specimens from the same pool. Outside breeding season, Rhacophorus borneensis live high up in the canopy and are difficult to observe; the species is found in primary forest as well as in disturbed forest. As of late 2017, the species had not been assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature; the type locality, Maliau Basin Conservation Area, is not easy accessible, whereas the other known locality is a protected area, Batang Ai National Park

Eduard Wirths was the Chief SS doctor at the Auschwitz concentration camp from September 1942 to January 1945. Thus, Wirths had formal responsibility for everything undertaken by the nearly 20 SS doctors who worked in the medical sections of Auschwitz between 1942–1945. Eduard Wirths was born in Geroldshausen near Würzburg, Bavaria into a Catholic family with democratic Socialist leanings, his father served as a medical corpsman in the First World War and according to Dr. Robert Jay Lifton had emerged from the war "...in a depressed state with pacifist leanings, which were undoubtedly expressed in his'making doctors of us all...'" Wirth's younger brother, became a notable gynecologist. According to Lifton "... Among the boys it was Eduard who came most under the father’s influence in becoming meticulous and unusually conscientious and reliable — traits that continued into his adult life, he never smoked or drank and was described as compassionate and "soft" in his responses to others..." The Wirths family was not known to be sympathetic to radical nationalist politics.
Eduard Wirths, became an ardent Nazi while studying medicine at the University of Würzburg. He joined the Nazi Party and the SA in June 1933 and applied for admission into the SS in 1934, he entered the Waffen SS in 1939, saw action in Norway and the Russian Front and was classified as medically unfit for combat duty in the spring of 1942 after a heart-attack. Wirths chose to undertake special training for Department leaders in Dachau Concentration Camp and served as chief SS psychiatrist in Neuengamme concentration camp during July 1942. Coincidentally, in 1942 Josef Mengele was wounded at the Russian Front, pronounced medically unfit for combat, promoted to the rank of SS-Hauptsturmführer before being assigned to Auschwitz. Dr. Wirths was promoted to SS-Hauptsturmführer and appointed as chief camp physician at Auschwitz in September, 1942, he was appointed on the basis of his reputation as a competent doctor and committed Nazi who would be capable of stopping the typhus epidemics that had affected SS personnel at Auschwitz.
At Auschwitz, Wirths was known to be protective of prisoner doctors and other prisoners doing medical work, to have improved conditions on the medical blocks and was remembered favourably by most prisoner doctors and other inmates who had contact with him. At the same time, Wirths in recommending Dr. Josef Mengele for promotion in August 1944, was able to speak of Mengele's "open, firm … dependable" character and "magnificent" intellectual and physical talents. Rudolf Höss, the commandant of Auschwitz between 1940 and December 1943 is said to have held Wirths in high regard, he is said to have remarked of Wirths that "During my 10 years of service in concentration-camp affairs, I have never encountered a better one." In 1943 the impact on inmates of Wirths' actions at Auschwitz resulted in him receiving a Christmas card from Langbein, a political prisoner who worked with him, which contained the message “In the past year you have saved here the lives of 93,000 people. We do not have the right to tell you our wishes.
But we wish for ourselves that you stay here in the coming year.” It was signed: “One speaking for the prisoners of Auschwitz.” The figure of 93,000 was the difference in mortality rate among prisoners from typhus in the year prior to Wirths' arrival. Wirths was involved in ordering medical experimentation in gynecological and typhus-related experimental tests. Wirths's primary research concerned pre-cancerous growths of the cervix. Dr. Wirths was interested in the sterilization of women, by removing their ovaries through surgery or radiation, it is acknowledged that he himself never directly participated in such experiments but delegated their conduct to subordinates. The victims of these experiments were Jewish women, imprisoned in Block 10 of the main camp in Auschwitz. Dr. E. W. J. Pearce, an Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Truman Medical Center has made the following observation regarding Wirths' medical experiments: "... Wirths, without consent, photographed the cervices of women prisoners amputated the pictured cervices, sent both photographs and specimens for study to Dr. Hinselmann of Berlin.
Hinselmann was the physician. Wirths asserted medical control of prisoner selections at the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, prior to spring 1943, had been conducted by the camp commander and his subordinates. Wirths insisted upon taking his own personal turn in performing selections, which he could have deferred to physician subordinates. Witness testimony given at the Trial of Adolf Eichmann provided a useful insight into how the SS approached the issue of how to record the deaths of Auschwitz prisoners (this did not include those, selected for gassing- their admission was not recorded in the death regi
