  We combine optical morphologies and photometry from HST, redshifts from Keck,
and mid-infrared luminosities from Spitzer for an optically selected sample
of~800 galaxies in GOODS-N to track morphology evolution of infrared luminous
galaxies (LIRGs) since redshift z=1. We find a 50% decline in the number of
LIRGs from z~1 to lower redshift, in agreement with previous studies. In
addition, there is evidence for a morphological evolution of the populations of
LIRGs. Above z=0.5, roughly half of all LIRGs are spiral, the
peculiar/irregular to spiral ratio is ~0.7, and both classes span a similar
range of L_{IR} and M_B. At low-z, spirals account for one-third of LIRGs, the
peculiar to spiral fraction rises to 1.3, and for a given M_B spirals tend to
have lower IR luminosity than peculiars. Only a few percent of LIRGs at any
redshift are red early-type galaxies. For blue galaxies (U-B < 0.2), M_B is
well correlated with log(L_{IR}) with an RMS scatter (about a bivariate linear
fit) of ~0.25 dex in IR luminosity. Among blue galaxies that are brighter than
M_B = -21, 75% are LIRGs, regardless of redshift. These results can be
explained by a scenario in which at high-z, most large spirals experience an
elevated star formation rate as LIRGs. Gas consumption results in a decline of
LIRGs, especially in spirals, to lower redshifts.
