We investigate the spatio-temporal dynamics of coupled chaotic systems with nonlocal interactions, where each element is coupled to a fixed number of nearest neighbours. Characteristic examples of such networks appear in neuroscience, chemical oscillators, electrochemical systems, and Josephson junctions. Depending upon the coupling parameters, i.e., strength and range, we find variations in temporal behaviour, as well as characteristic spatial patterns. These include wave-like solutions and a transition from spatial coherence to incoherence. Partially coherent, chimera-like states represent the characteristic spatio-temporal patterns at the transition, which leads to spatial chaos. The systems have been analyzed by both numerical simulations and theoretical derivations. To demonstrate the universality of our findings, we consider time-discrete as well as time-continuous models, i.e., logistic maps, Rössler and Lorenz systems, respectively. For each system we choose parameters that lead to chaotic behaviour in the uncoupled case.
