1 Supplementary Video Legends

Supplementary Video 1 | Male passing patterns of O-in, I-in, and C on the early stage of the circular structure construction. See text for the abbreviations of passing patterns. The categorization of zones is shown in Fig. 5. The video was shot by K. Ito at

Seisui on 21 April 2012.

Supplementary Video 2 | Male passing patterns of O-in, I-in and C on the middle stage of the circular structure construction. See text for the abbreviations of passing patterns. The video was shot by K. Ito at Katetsu on 29 May 2012.

Supplementary Video 3 | Male passing pattern of C on the middle stage of the circular structure construction. See text for the abbreviation of passing pattern. The video was shot by K. Ito at Katetsu on 29 May 2012.

Supplementary Video 4 | Male passing patterns of C and I-out on the middle stage of the circular structure construction. See text for the abbreviations of passing patterns. The video was shot by K. Ito at Katetsu on 10 July 2011.
