In networks of coupled oscillators we investigate the effects of nonlocal interactions on the dynamics and pattern formation. Novel types of bifurcations at the transition from coherence to incoherence are analyzed. They represent a critical pattern transformation which gives rise to breakdown of the spatially coherent state and transition to spatial chaos. The transition starts with the appearance of narrow layers of incoherence which then grow and occupy, eventually, the whole system. We follow the bifurcation scenarios for non-locally coupled logistic maps (both chaotic and periodic), and non-locally coupled Roessler systems, and conclude that the transition from spatial coherence to incoherence is typically accompanied by the appearance of hybrid, partially coherent states where coherent phase-locked regions coexist with incoherent spatially chaotic regions. In non-locally coupled Roessler systems chimera states appear at the coherence-incoherence transition.
