contents Localized phenomena abound in nature and throughout the physical sciences. Some universal mechanisms for localization have been characterized, such as in the snaking bifurcations of localized steady states in pattern-forming partial differential equations. While much of this understanding has been targeted at steady states, recent studies have noted complex dynamical localization phenomena in systems of coupled oscillators. These localized states can come in the form of symmetry-breaking chimera patterns that exhibit a coexistence of coherence and incoherence in symmetric networks of coupled oscillators and gap solitons emerging in the band gap of parametrically driven networks of oscillators. Here, we report detailed numerical continuations of localized time-periodic states in systems of coupled oscillators, while also documenting the numerous bifurcations they give way to. We find novel routes to localization involving bifurcations of heteroclinic cycles in networks of Janus oscillators and strange bifurcation diagrams resembling chaotic tangles in a parametrically driven array of coupled pendula. We highlight the important role of discrete symmetries and the symmetric branch points that emerge in symmetric models.
